I originally posted this article in April of 2005 and the method still remains effective today! I hope this can help you get rid of the clutter that's creating stress in your life! Getting rid of clutter, or decluttering, is a simple process, once you break it down into manageable steps. Tackling too much at once, or underestimating the time and effort it will take to "get organized", can lead to frustration and a "throw in the towel" stance that will further add to your clutter and your anxiety.
